Last night the UPS truck dropped off my Christmas present. It was a case tumbler and the Instructions stated I could use either; walnut hulls or corncob media. Ok, so this is my first case tumbler and which MEDIA should I buy? My local gunshop has both, green and orange Media for $20 per gallon-size media. One is walnut hull and the other corncob stuff. SO: which is BEST???

The walnut is the more aggressive, abrasive of the two. I have a vibrating type brass cleaner, I start with walnut to clean up, then I'll run them in corn cob to polish them up. I also add a little of the Dillon brass polish to the corn cob to make the brass shine.

They both work. I use whatever I find cheapest. BTW, I do not use any additives- just the walnut hulls or corncob.
Eventually, whatever you're using, the batch in the tumbler wears out. Throw it out and put in some new - you'll discover the time it takes to clean your brass goes down quite a bit.

I do not use cob of corn anymore, it does not last. I started buying crushed Pecan hulls from shellers. It works pretty good, we do not have many Walnut trees in NW FL. I am cheap or should I say thrifty
